The man thought he knew her before and he told the neighbours about her, and they said it must be Grant's mother that was dead. Grant died that night and the man that spoke to her heard her crying in his own garden. When he went as far as the crying, he thought it was at the window it was. The "caleyers" inside heard the crying and they were afraid to go home. But the man said he'd go one to Grant's (he didn't know at the time that Grant was dead). So he went over and the cry followed him and when he went in Grant was dead in his bed. They people said it was Grant's mother that came back to care for her son and to let the people know he was dead so that he'd get a decent funeral.
